World of Warcraft has been updated to version 2.1.2, introducing a variety of bug fixes, balance changes, and content additions. The patch contains all new arena and honor rewards in preparation for Arena Season 2, as well as new art for many raid-level items.

Also, In Blizzard Entertainment's continuing efforts to maintain control of its MMORPG, the company recently announced the banning of thousands of WoW accounts making use of "bots" to automate in-game functions like killing monsters and looting.

In the US and Europe, we recently banned several thousand accounts associated with the use of botting programs that fully automate player actions, such as killing and looting monsters. We take these attempts to bypass the rules and standards of the game extremely seriously, and we will continue to aggressively monitor all World of Warcraft realms in order to protect the service and its players from the negative effects of cheating.
